Finally, all the parents left. It was the weekend and they were free to do whatever they wanted what The Legends wanted was to lay outside in the sun. Evan was asleep with his head in Tom's lap. Tom was reading as he sat against a tree. Hermione was on another part of a tree reading with Cy asleep with his head in her lap while Luna and Cassie played Chess.
Kids of every age were running this way and that in the summer sun.
"Wake Up!" A gruff fairy about their size growled. Evan and Cy started awake. Lily was close by and headed over to them. "You Legends?"
"That's what everyone's calling us. " Evan yawned rubbing his eyes. "What can we do for you today?"
"Need some help."
"You wouldn't be here if you didn't." Ida said, popping up in Evan's hat. "I speak for these children. Now what is it that you need?"
"Is everything okay, Evan, dear?" Lily knelt down other than Ida she'd never seen a fairy before.
"Everything's fine, mum." Evan smiled, "We're going to help the elf so we'll be working okay? "
"Well be careful. "
"We will." They all said, then stood.
"Right, one of you take my hand." Evan grabbed it. "The rest grab him." they did and in a flash they were gone in woods when they reappeared.
"Ugh!" Hermione fell against a tree. "I thought i hated Apperating but that was worse!"
"You get used to it." the Fairy laughed.
"What does a light fairy need with my humans?" Ida asked. "My humans can't do Light ."
"Aye. " the fairy said , as they walked, "But I've got orders to test them."
"Test?" Cy whined, "I'd rather just go back to sleep!"
The Light Fairy laughed.
"Eh, Sorry but you must be tested. " he said, leading them to the center of town. "If you pass you will skip all Renown and you will move in to Prestige standing with us."
"That's great." Evan said, "What do we have to do?"
He suddenly screamed. He was not a happy tiny boy. He was the same size as Ida now! Which was to say the size of his thumb. He frowned at the now giant Light fairy he had all seven of them, Ida included, in his hand.
"Heh heh." the fairy laughed, he knelt at the fountain and placed them on it. "My Queen. As you requested."
thank you. the Queen spoke." I give you the gift of fairy fight." Wings appeared on their back."If you pass this test you will keep your wings. " she told them. "You see quests around our world this fairy world. You do them together as a Team."
"We'd love to." Luna said, "But first allow us some time to learn to fly. "
That got some laughs. Hermione was already in the air.
"That's not fair!" Cy yelled, taking flight but not going as far or as fast as Hermione. "You're a wind user!"
After taking time to learn to fly, no one could catch Hermione, they set off in search of quests.
They quickly learned they were going to have to get creative but in return they were taught some of the most basic things.
"Okay, Earth Fairy. " A Tree spirit said, "I am to teach you to get word without an axe and harming a tree. You will use this Elder wood for your wands."
"Yes, please!" Evan beamed, "We just reached a wand upgrade and it said we needed wood."
"Wow, Elder is the most powerful wood." Hermione said, they were all sitting on a Leaf she was supposed to keep floating for awhile. "Thank you very much."
"First I teach you to tell the trees apart. All of you."
That was an interesting experience. Then finally Evan was flying by a tree.
"How would you get wood with your power."
"Tree." Evan said, hands on the tree fairies all over were watching his hands were glowing. "Tree I ask you to please help me. " he felt the tree respond to his power. "Tree will you please give me some wand wood?"
The tree responded by giving him some wand wood.
"Very good." The Fairy praised.
"Thank you, tree."
"Very good and very effective but you connection with the tree is weak so it does not give you a lot. " she touched the tree herself. "You are an Earth User you must embrace your element always be one with it. Connect to everything. " she closed her eyes. "Can you feel it?"
Evan soon lost himself to the feelings of Nature and Earth.
Lily was getting worried it had been hours since she'd seen her son and his team.
"They can take care of themselves." Severus assured her.
"You're just as worried as I am!" she accused. "It is getting dark."
"We apologize." Ida was flying infront of them. "My Queen is having them learn about their powers by helping our people. They are young and need much training. I have been told they will be returned to you tomorrow. You needn't worry our Queen herself watches over them."
Everyone in hearing distance began talking at once.
"Thank you for letting us know, Ida." Severus said respectfully. "But we will always worry because we are parents. "
"I can not understand this worry." Ida said smiling at them. "But I will return to watch over them my self as well. Every baby fairy goes through a similar task as to what they are going through right now." She didn't mention that it was different for them because they were Players. "We are all taught the same way. I must return now."
That night they slept in a flower with Ida. It was her rose that Evan had called into the Team Inventory from the room and set up so he could care for it. That had gotten him respect from the other fairies that Ida was in his mind during all this. Evan had fed her his power then had watered her on his own not having Luna near by because she was of a ways learning something. It was actually comfortable.
They returned to school a pair of wings richer.
Prestige Level 1 with Fairies!
Team Level 25: you're as famous as the Chuddley Cannons.
"Evan!"
"Mom!" Evan was scooped up into her arms, they were of course full size again. "We're fine and guess what. We got something really cool!"
"Oh?" Lily asked. "Hermione! " Hermione was flying around happily on her new wings maybe she wouldn't freak out so much on a broom now. "Oh, fairy wings!"
"Yep." Hermione landed. Her wings vanished. "We earned them that's what Queen Alwin said. "
"I see. "
With that Lily took them and fed them and babied them all day then tucked them in that night kissing each one on the head and wondering how they were sharing a room.
"Night." Evan yawned snuggling into Tom's arm Cy at his back. The bed moved and suddenly three girls joined them. "Much better. "
When they woke it was a mad dash to get ready and go to breakfast but Evan never forgot to take of Ida's rose. He noted that she seemed bigger about the size of Severus' thumb. They walked into breakfast holding hands as always. When they were stopped.
"Is it true that you have fairy wings?" Draco demanded. "How did you get them?"
"We earned them by working hard and helping others." Hermione told him. "and being born with Fairy Powers in us. " That had been agreed upon that they would say they were born with the power in them. "Now excuse us our breakfast is getting cold and we have a big day ahead of us."
They walked to their table and sat down.
"He's so annoying. "
"Excuse me." They looked to see Jamie and Orion. "May we join you?"
"Sure." Evan shrugged. "Take a seat. " The two sat.
It was outside that it finally happened. They'd gone out side for their morning class and changed only to be greeted by a dungeon and two lost players. Restriction was they could only use Kickboxing to pass the dungeon.
Evan set out and soon found that he was going up against Goblins. He didn't understand that but kept going using every KickBoxing skill he knew to win fights. He'd been at it for hours when he finally heard someone calling him. It was Orion. He jogged over gasping for air.
"Team Invite."
"Do I press yes?" Orion asked and got a nod. He did. "Okay, this explains so much on why you guys are so smart ."
"No not really." Evan replied, "Ida." Ida flew off of his shoulder. "Does Orion have a Fairy Power?"
"He is an Animal Fairy." Ida answered. "He is connected to Animals like you are Earth."
"That sounds cool for me." Orion smirked, "I love animals."
"Come on we have to find the others but first." Evan hit gloves with Orion signaling that he'd found him. "Come on I bet you Jamie is in here with the rest of the team."
They found Luna, then Hermione, then Cy and Cassie found them. Then Tom.
"Jamie must have really gotten lost." Orion sighed. "Why aren't you two touching like Evan did with us?"
"If the do the dungeon will be over and Jamie wont get to be a player until he dies." Cy said. "That's what happened to Evan."
"I smell something." Hermione said, she sniffed the air again. "That way."
They all took off running.
Hermione apologized as they dodged a massive bat wielded by a Goblin. She'd smelled something alright. Chicken . This goblin was eating.
"Sorry, I can't tell smells yet!"
"Well, learn fast!" Cy yelled back at her.
It took them several minuets to win because they used Team Work.
"Evan it didn't say we couldn't use our Fairy Powers in here." Tom said, "Can't you feel him out?"
Evan let his power flow from him sensing out human life.
"I got something." he said, "It's faint."
"Faint?" Orion cried, "Like he's hurt?"
"Like he's on the edge of Evan's range." Cassie assured her cousin. "He's only got a few miles of range just like Hermione. It's growing and getting stronger though. "
"It is this way ." They skirted the edge of that goblin's room. "Tom."
Tom looked at Hermione .
"Right there." she pointed to a Black wall.
Tom blasted it down.
"I want that power!" Orion yelled, as they took off running again.
"Too bad it's mine!" Tom sneered.
"Oh!" Hermione said, sniffing. "Yes, okay, I can pick him up now. He's on the edge of my range as well. "
"You're doing well. " Ida praised. "keep training."
They ran and ran .
Jamie was annoyed he'd been tied up and was being poked at. The ground suddenly began shaking. His ropes cut and he jumped up nailing the nearest goblin.
"Merlin am I glad to see you!" Jamie beamed, sure enough Evan and his team ran into the room. "Thanks for untying me."
"Team Invite!" jamie quickly pressed yes.
"This one is a Light fairy!" Ida said landing on Jamie's head. "Blind the Goblins!"
"How?" Jamie yelled dodging under a table. "Tell me and I'll do it. "
"Hold your hand out and picture a bright flashing light." Ida called back. "Picture it in the middle of the room a ball of light."
The team covered their eyes as Jamie pulled of the move. Then they were all attacking. When they one Evan hit gloves with Jamie but not Tom . Tom and Hermione were bickering as they worked on a chest.
"We got it." Hermione finally called, "Oh, this is great. "
She grabbed the book.
Enhance senses.
"Great now we can all do it." cy groused.
Tom grabbed Evan and they were suddenly back at class.
